body:
A recent Slashdot story sparked a great deal of discussion about
Aduva's plans for simplifying Linux administration. Aduva's Izar
Tarandach says it sparked a great many misconceptions as well. Today,
he tries to put the record straight.

changelog: http://freshmeat.net/projects/dumprestore/changelog/
description:
The dump package contains both dump and restore. Dump examines files in
a filesystem, determines which ones need to be backed up, and copies
those files to a specified disk, tape or other storage medium. The
restore command performs the inverse function of dump; it can restore a
full backup of a filesystem. Subsequent incremental backups can then be
layered on top of the full backup. Single files and directory subtrees
may also be restored from full or partial backups.

Some bugfixes and a new ability to dump/restore files bigger than 2GB.

download: http://freshmeat.net/projects/theglobalfilesystem/download/
description:
The Global File System (GFS) is a 64-bit shared disk cluster file
system for Linux. GFS cluster nodes physically share the same storage
by means of Fibre Channel or shared SCSI devices. The file system
appears to be local on each node and GFS synchronizes file access
across the cluster. GFS is fully symmetric, meaning that all nodes are
equal and there is no server which may be a bottleneck or single point
of failure. GFS uses read and write caching while maintaining full UNIX
file system semantics. GFS supports journaling, recovery from client
failures, and many other features.
changes:
Further improvements were made to `memexpd'. A new manual STOMITH
method called `meatware' has been added. There is now no reason to run
GFS without a STOMITH method and it will be required in the future.
`stomithd' now uses a device, instead of /proc to avoid a race
condition. Initial ppc-linux support was added. Numerous other
stability improvements have also been added to `gserv' and `gclient'. A
number of file truncation bugs have been fixed. Preliminary, unstable
code for exporting GFS filesystems via kernel-space NFS is included.

Wine Is Not an Emulator. It is an alternative implementation of the
Windows 3.x and Win32 APIs. Wine provides both a development toolkit
(Winelib) for porting legacy Windows sources to Unix and a program
loader, allowing unmodified Windows 3.1/95/NT binaries to run under
Intel Unixes. Wine does not require Microsoft Windows, as it is a
completely alternative implementation consisting of 100% Microsoft-Free
code, but it can optionally use native system DLLs if they are
available.
changes:
Many fixes have been added for Winelib support on Sparc. The DirectDraw
code has been restructed. Unicode support was added to the combobox and
listbox. This release includes new a MSVCRT dll. Bugfixes.

Glt is a library of C++ classes and routines for programming
interactive 3D graphics with OpenGL. The aim of Glt is to augment the
OpenGL API with convenient mechanisms for manipulating the OpenGL state
machine. Glt is a work in progress, and by no means covers the entire
OpenGL specification. However, it already includes several useful
classes and is designed so that additional classes can be added easily.
In addition to Glt, the GlutMaster classes provide C++ wrappers for the
GLUT API.
changes:
GlutMaster support for OpenInventor, GNU Unicode font support for
OpenGL, UTF-8 to Unicode conversion code, and Windows OpenInventor/GLUT
demo binaries have been added. The Makefile was updated for Linux and
Cygwin.

description:
RenAttach is an e-mail filter/processor that can run as a global filter
or from a specific user's .forward file. It's designed to protect end
users (particularly Windows users) from malicious e-mail attachments
containing viruses or trojans. It does NOT scan specifically for
viruses, but rather renames e-mail attachments so that they can not be
accidentally executed. It handles both UUEncoded and Mime encoded
attachments, and performs fast filtering with minimal resource usage.
changes:
RenAttach is now released under the GNU General Public License (GNU
GPL). The MIME file name parser has been improved, now using dynamic
buffer allocation. Cleverly placed names can no longer "slip past" the
filter.
